We experience our 3D world through a series of 2D interfaces. Our maps break down data into layer upon layer of geospatial information. We don't need to do that anymore, we can escape these flatlands and enjoy a dynamic experience where our real-world and digital world are intrinsically similar. See my presentation from Geomatics Indaba 2017 - unfortunately without the great videos.

The IoT is NOT:
▪ A technology
▪ A platform
It is a design

▪ A set of ‘things’ (devices,
